Ben Weston Beach Custom Search   Ben Weston Beach is accessed primarily by boat because it is a 14mile strenuous hike from the nearest town (Avalon) on Catalina Island. You will not be ''sleeping in your car'' as the write-up above suggests. The nearest road access is gate accessed and a very expensive ($40 one way) taxi ride from Avalon. Beautiful beach YES, but don't expect to carry lawn chairs and a cooler to this one. Says Brian Groh California is a glorious site for beach folks. This beach is so nice. The joining of the water and the beautiful California seaside will make you feel splendid.            Map Detailed Map Weather Local weather forecast These outdoors activities are available near Ben Weston Beach.   Other Beaches Near Ben Weston Beach: Empire Landing, Los Angeles County , 5 miles away Sullivans Beach, Los Angeles County , 6 miles away Johnsons Landing, Los Angeles County , 7 miles away Parsons Landing, Los Angeles County , 8 miles away Moonstone Beach, Los Angeles County , 8 miles away   Marinas Near Ben Weston Beach: City of Avalon Harbor Department, Avalon , 11 miles away Catalina Harbor Department, Avalon , 11 miles away   Hotels Near Ben Weston Beach: Catalina Island Seacrest Inn, Avalon , 4 miles away Catalina Canyon Resort and Spa, Avalon , 11 miles away El Terado Terrace, Avalon , 11 miles away Hotel St. Lauren, Avalon , 11 miles away Catalina Island Inn, Avalon , 11 miles away Historic Hermosa Hotel and Cottages, Avalon , 11 miles away Hotel Atwater, Avalon , 11 miles away Pavilion Hotel, Avalon , 11 miles away The Belamar, Manhattan Beach , 20 miles away Terranea Resort, Rancho Palos Verdes , 23 miles away   Camp Grounds Near Ben Weston Beach: Two-harbors, Avalon, 9 miles away Avalon's Hermit Gultch, Avalon, 10 miles away   Ski Areas Near Ben Weston Beach: Mt Waterman, California , 77 miles away, 1300 foot drop, 3 lifts, 10 runs Mt.
